  1. Love your BUnny Bordello, and your little Corgi! You are a hard worker!

  2. Is the cherry plum for eating? I think of them as something used in jelly and cooking, like a tart cherry. I know people eat a lot of them, but I though that was only because they happen to be so abundant.
    What is the wildlife garden for?

    • The Nadia plum is a brand new cross, and very much for fresh eating. It is supposed to be delicious….I’ll report back on that if I get fruit this year. The wildlife garden is to attract wildlife like frogs, dragonflies, and other beneficial critters to my garden…and give them a safe place to live, away from rampaging corgi dogs, lol.

      • Oh, for beneficial wildlife. I was not thinking in that direction. I am more concerned with keeping damaging wildlife out. Turkey are a problem elsewhere in the neighborhood, and of course, deer are everywhere! I can not pick out the good ones. My neighbor fortunately knows how to do that, and has gotten some good turkeys. (I am regularly told that they are not good.)
        That is funny about the cherry plum. It used to be something of an undesirable here. It grew where a grafted tree had been cut down. I cooked with it somewhat, just because I hated to waste the fruit. A friend in San Jose used it like the understock that it was intended to be, and grafted other stonefruit onto it.

      • I doubt this plum is the same kind….it’s a completely new creation.

      • None of them are the same kind. Those that were used for rootstock were bred for particular characteristics. If ‘Nadia’ was bred for fruit production, it is a completely different kind altogether, and the term ‘cherry plum’ is taken more literally, as a hybrid between the two.

  3. Always love to see your beautiful garden. Truly a piece of heaven in our troubled town. Thanks for the shoutout. Together I hope we can bring more to the Word. 🙂
